A classic vintage Seiko 5 automatic wristwatch featuring a distinctive square “TV-style” case framing a two-tone black and silver dial with applied marker details. Matching luminous hands and a sweep seconds hand complete the retro dial layout, accompanied by a convenient day and date window at the 3 o’clock position, along with “SEIKO 5,” the Seiko logo, and “AUTOMATIC 23 JEWELS” branding.
The watch is housed in an authentic polished stainless steel square case and powered by its original Seiko Caliber 4219 automatic mechanical movement. Its original screw-down case back carries period markings including “SEIKO,” “STAINLESS STEEL,” “WATER RESISTANT,” and reference numbers 450168 and 4219-8E10.
This example is presented in vintage pre-owned condition, retaining its original dial, case, and movement. It is paired with an integrated stainless steel link bracelet featuring a signed Seiko clasp, giving the classic timepiece an authentic retro character.

Important Note
Due to the age and nature of vintage automatic mechanical movements, timekeeping performance may vary and may not meet the accuracy standards of modern quartz watches.
The “WATER RESISTANT” marking is a period case-back marking and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of present-day water resistance or performance.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, vintage watches are not pressure-tested and should not be assumed to be water-resistant.
All measurements are approximate. Please examine all photographs carefully before purchase, as they form an important part of the condition description.
